As a final little note for today, i also found a small ding in the downtube beside the bottom bracket. It is under the current paint which shows no sign of damage therefore i conlude that this was done by the great man himself. My feelings are that the ding should not be repaired- it is part of the bikes story. It would be easy enough to fill it with a little silver. How does the collective feel about it? Leave be or repair?

Original finish was white powder, followed by handpainted Jelly Beans before clear laquer. Thats they way we will be going on the resto. I like powders toughness. Wet paint on top gives a geat shine too so you get best of both.
